Stepping away from the often flat, traditional duster, the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster is embedded in grooves to grab hold of all the little bits floating around your tables and shelves.
It’s best used when damp – as the name suggests. Give it a quick rinse under some water, slide it across your surfaces and see all the dust, pollen and pet hair move into the grooves. It’s easily reusable after a wash and doesn’t need any sprays or chemicals to get the cleaning done.
